is™ is an olfactory journey into the future. A metropolis in white, with metallic edges and perfect symmetry – almost flawless. The fragrance evokes the inside of a synthetic fruit that does not yet exist and is impossible to describe. Sweet stone fruit flesh and gourmand cocoa notes are wrapped in clean, almost chalky facets, framed by a metallic sheen. At once alien and familiar – like a memory that drifts between dream and reality.

Together with was™, is™ forms a perfume duo that expands Neandertal’s conceptual line. This duo engages with fundamental questions about humanity: where we are headed as a species in a world that appears increasingly synthetic. One of the two fragrances was created by humans, the other by artificial intelligence. The deliberate choice was made not to reveal which is which – an invitation to approach the theme without bias and to enter into dialogue with oneself and others.

Behind the Fragrance

"With is T™ and was™, we wanted to create a dialogue between two different forms of intelligence, one rooted in centuries of perfumery tradition, the other in algorithms and data. By not revealing which fragrance comes from which source, we invite people to encounter them without bias, and to reflect on how the boundary between human and machine creativity is shifting. For me, this project is less about providing answers, and more about sparking curiosity about what it means to be human in an age of synthetic."
